Question

An inflammation of synovial membrane is called as
a) infective arthiritis
b) osteoarthritis
c) rheumatic arthiritis
d) mechanical arthiritis

Answer 1

Rheumatoid Arthritis is the correct answer.

This is because due to this disease the thin synovium becomes inflamed and thick. This leads to accumulation of synovial fluid that further accelerates the pain and swelling in the joints.

The bone ends and cartilage become damaged or eroded due to this disease which leads to loss of function and deformity.

This disease can affect any joint in your body. But, it usually affects all the smaller joints of the hands and feet first before attacking the bigger joints
